I am typically not a lover of the entire Friends to Lovers trope…However! This book has totally changed my mind. Leah Dobrinska did this trope right and to absolute perfection! There wasn’t the typical pining after one another unknowingly that lasts forever. Instead they moved from strangers, to friends, to lovers seamlessly and perfectly.

This was one of those books that I just couldn’t put down and was such a breathe of fresh air to have a book that I loved and enjoyed every minute of! I am a total fan of grumpy brooding guys and Mack is just written so well! He is everything brooding with such a soft heart underneath all his hard layers. He is definitely one you want to be friends with and have in your corner.

Poppy is such a sweetheart and I love that after years of taking care of her family she finally has someone in her corner to take care of her. She is such the sunshine to Mack’s storm clouds and I love how they complete and compliment each other so well. And their nicknames…like the best nicknames for each other and totally one of my favorite things about this book too.

This book made me laugh out loud, swoon, and total feel all the warm feelings. Like truly this book is just the best and I’ll totally rave all about it. I’m already wanting book 2 asap and this one hasn’t even officially released yet. It is truly that great!

If you want a loose retelling of While You Were Sleeping, flirty banter, grump and sunshine, small town feels, and the perfect summer read totally add this one to your To Read list now…like really now!
